Ancient CoinsThe Hermitage collection of Ancient Greek coins numbers 63,360 items. It covers a period from the appearance of coins in the 7th century B.C. to the 5th century A.D. They were minted in practically all regions of the Ancient World from Spain to Bactria. The first gold Lydian staters attract attention, as do a very respectable selection of electrum coins from the city of Cyzicus , the first international currency of ancient times. The collection also includes such masterpieces of ancient coinage as the famous Syracusan dekadrachms the work of the remarkable artists and die-engravers Cimon and Euainetos. These splendid pieces are the first commemorative coins in history. They were minted to celebrate the victory of the Syracusans over the Athenians in 413 B.C. and comprise the pride of our collection. The Hermitage has a highly interesting set of gold oktadrachms from Ptolemaic Egypt. These coins, some of the largest gold pieces produced in the Ancient World, are as a rule superbly made and well preserved. Minted for commemorative purposes and distributed at various formal occasions, they were therefore carefully kept by the recipients. Represented in considerable quantity in the collection are the gold staters of such noted rulers as Lysimachus, Alexander the Great and his father Philip II, minted in various cities of the Ancient World

We use money every day to pay for things we buy.
Thousands of years ago, the money was not used. Instead, man had the “barter” system. This meant that if one wanted something he had, he had to find someone who had this thing. Then he had to offer him something in exchange. And if that person didn't like what he was offered, the first man couldn't get what he needed.
Over time, certain things were used as money, because virtually everyone would take these things in exchange. In the past people used shells, beads, beans, cocoa, salt, grain, tobacco, leather, and even cattle. But coins are much easier to use than, say, cattle. Them easy to store and carry.
They were first made from either gold or silver. They were imprinted with the brand name. Printing was showing how much each coin was worth. Later, people began to use coins made of cheaper metals. Metal just had no value, but the coins still had value on the basis of printing, imprinted on them. People have also started to use paper money. No longer mattered that the money itself had no real value. This is the kind of money we use today.
Money has many forms. For example, this can be coins, bills or electronic money. Coins is the money of small denomination. Previously, they were made of valuable metals, because the coin itself was valuable. Now they are made from cheap materials. Due to the fact that a large number of coins was not convenient to carry, came up with paper money. They are made with special characters, so you can't fake them. First, a currency of mistrust, but then people got used to it and started to use. Today electronic money has become one of the main ways of payment for goods and services. Electronic money is very convenient to pay for purchases in online stores. The first electronic money began to produce in 1994 in the United States. They have gained popularity and within a year took their payment system. Electronic money has become much more convenient. And the card was smaller than bill.
In the big shopping malls are not only shopping but also food courts where you can buy any food and drink what you want. Also, there are a variety of entertainment movie small parks. And for the convenience of visitors, many shopping centers are open until late at night in these centers have recreational areas with benches, decorations, special conditions for disabled elderly as well as in some stores for the convenience of the teller.
